I have absolutely no problem with proceeds going to the authors. I like 
authors being blessed. They've put in a lot of work and deserve to be 
rewarded for their labors.

So my apologies if I gave any other impression. But the word 
contribution is used in reference to paying for the PDF. So it somewhat 
brings a different thought to what the money is going towards.

If the contribution is going to honor and bless the labors of the 
authors, that is great. No problem. The laborer is worthy of his hire. 
But if it is going to an organization, it would be nice to know what 
organization. Possibly the Square Bracket Association and the funding of 
more Squeak, Smalltalk books.

Personally, I would love to see more people making good livings with Squeak.

Anyway, I am very grateful for this resource. May it bless its authors 
immensely even if not from the profits of the book. May the Squeak 
community be blessed by this effort and may it bear much fruit.

Again, thanks.

Jimmie
